Shortage status

Whether the FDA lists this drug as in short supply.

Not on the FDA shortage list as of Nov 10, 2026.

The list changes daily, and it covers the national supply. A pharmacy near you can be out of a drug that is not listed, or have one that is. See today's status.

02

What pharmacies pay

The national average price retail pharmacies pay to buy it (NADAC).

Product as surveyedTypePharmacy paysFor 30Price since
JARDIANCE 10 MG TABLETBrand$11.19 per each$335.67Oct 21, 2026
JARDIANCE 25 MG TABLETBrand$11.19 per each$335.69Oct 21, 2026

This is not your price. NADAC is the national average that retail pharmacies pay to buy the drug, from the Medicaid survey for the week of Nov 11, 2026. What you pay adds the pharmacy's markup and dispensing fee and depends on your insurance or any discount card. "For 30" is shown only for products priced per tablet or capsule. Brand prices here are before any rebates.

03

What Medicare spends

Medicare Part D spending by product, from the latest annual file (2024).

In 2024, Medicare Part D plans and their members paid $11.44 billion for the 1 product below. That is up 381% from $2.38 billion in 2020.

$11.44 billion2,543,331$1,005.96$4,496.46$2.38 billion

Spending is the gross amount paid at the pharmacy by Part D plans and patients, before manufacturer rebates, which can be large for brand drugs. The same person can use more than one product, so people are not added up across rows. A dash means the file suppresses a small number or has no figure for that year. Not counted here, combination products that contain it: Glyxambi, Synjardy, Synjardy XR.

04

Class I is the most serious: use could cause serious harm. Class II may cause temporary or reversible harm. Class III is unlikely to cause harm. To check a bottle, match the lot number on the label. See the live list. Do not stop a medicine because of a recall without asking your pharmacist.
